For Hindus, Ekadashi is a sacred event and falls into two categories: monthly and annually. Lord Vishnu is honored monthly on Ekadashi. Annually the event is expanded during February or March for Ekadeshi of Phalgun Shukla Paksha. In the Hindu calendar, this celebration falls between Maha Shivratri and Holi.
Each observance day is marked with day-long fasting in honor of Lord Vishnu according to strict rituals, rules, and regulations. The purpose of fasting is to show sacrifice to receive love and affection from the Hindu god Lord Vishnu.
PLEASE NOTE:
We use the Indian civil calendar, the official holiday calendar in India. The Hindu faith has many calendars, each specific to different regions and tribes, with dates and celebrations marked by differing positions of the sun, moon, and stars. Names of months and holidays and the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar may vary widely from one calendar to the next. Determine the proper calendar before attending local events.
